Sam - Welcome to Answers. I'm sorry about your dad's serious condition. His PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) level is very high and indicates his prostate cancer has spread elsewhere in the body. That's his like outlook is terminal. His GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate) indicates his kidneys are working pretty well while his BUN (blood or serum urea nitrogen) level is okay. Sadly no physician or anyone else can given you any accurate forecast of how much remaining time he has. At best, it's an educated guess. Spend time with your dad, and let him know you love him, if at all possible. I pray you'll be pleasantly surprised as he continues to be with you.
